Basic Needs Resources 

The Basic Needs Center provides centralized support services for students facing basic needs insecurities. By actively building links and collaborating with campus and community partners, we advocate for student-centered solutions that are responsive to an individual’s overall well-being, so students are empowered to successfully matriculate through SUNY Fredonia and beyond.
